Mission

Dining

The Mission dining scene emphasizes tasty, casual fare over fancy dining. From steaks and pub food to Indian meals and Chinese cuisine, Mission caters to a variety of tastes.

Eating out here is more affordable than in nearby Vancouver, and the restaurants are family-friendly.

Rockwell's Bar & Grill

One of Mission's swankier dining options is Rockwell's Bar & Grill, the West Coast-style restaurant at the Best Western Mission City Lodge. In the intimately lit, spacious dining room, diners can sample dishes such as miso-glazed wild salmon, slow-roasted prime rib, and cheesecake.

Mission Springs Brewing Company

Brewpub lovers can try the Mission Springs Brewing Company. This colourful establishment is packed with vintage decorations, including license plates, gas pumps, and a 1949 Chevrolet pickup truck. Sip the microbrewery's ales and lagers, and dig into the crab and artichoke dip or a big chicken ranch pizza. While the 120-seat pub is for those 19 and over only, kids are welcome at the 425-seat restaurant.

Ethnic Cuisine

Mission offers a solid roster of ethnic dining options. Located at the edge of the Fraser Valley Heritage Park, the Blackberry Kitchen Café has some of Mission's best Indian food. On a hillside overlooking the Fraser River, savour Indian dishes like butter chicken and chana masala. The Blackberry Kitchen Café also serves wraps, sandwiches, salads, and soups.

Check out the Chinese restaurants clustered along 1st Avenue in the historic downtown core. Greek, Japanese, and Vietnamese cuisine is also available in Mission.

Chains and Fast Food

Looking for burgers, subs, fried chicken, or coffee and doughnuts? Mainstream chain restaurants and fast-food joints are well-represented in Mission, particularly along the Lougheed Highway (Highway 7) and London Avenue. There are numerous chain restaurants at the Junction Shopping Centre, Mission's biggest shopping plaza.
